That was me that filed the Itanium test suite failure. :)

Ah, porting to HP Superdome servers. It’s like being handed a brochure describing the intricate details of the iceberg the ship you just boarded is about to hit in a few days.

A fellow traveler, ahoy!

I worked on the Superdome servers back in the day. What a weird product. I still can't believe it was a profitable division (at my time circa 2011).

HP was going through some turbulent waters in those days.

The Itanic was kind of great :). I'm convinced it helped sink SGI.

Itanium did its most most important job: it killed everything but ARM and POWER.

[froh]

Sunk by the Great Itanic ?

[sitkack]

Why was the sinking of SGI great?

[acdha]

SGI and HP! Intel should have a statue of Rick Belluzzo on they’r campus.

[kabdib]

one of the best books on Linux architecture i've read was the one on the Itanium port

i think, because Itanic broke a ton of assumptions

This sounds interesting. Can you share the title of the book?
